1He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy
member cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah.

2A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even to the
tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of
Jehovah.

3An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into
the assembly of Jehovah; even to the tenth generation shall none
belonging to them enter into the assembly of Jehovah for ever:
4because they met you not with bread and with water in the
way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against
thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse
thee. 5Nevertheless Jehovah thy God would not hearken
unto Balaam; but Jehovah thy God turned the curse into a blessing
unto thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee. 6Thou
shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for
ever.

7Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy
brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian, because thou wast a
sojourner in his land. 8The children of the third
generation that are born unto them shall enter into the assembly of
Jehovah.

9When thou goest forth in camp against thine
enemies, then thou shalt keep thee from every evil thing. 10If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of that
which chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the
camp, he shall not come within the camp: 11but it shall
be, when evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water; and
when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp. 12Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go
forth abroad: 13and thou shalt have a paddle among thy
weapons; and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt
dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from
thee: 14for Jehovah thy God walketh in the midst of thy
camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee;
therefore shall thy camp be holy, that he may not see an unclean
thing in thee, and turn away from thee.

15Thou shalt not
deliver unto his master a servant that is escaped from his master
unto thee: 16he shall dwell with thee, in the midst of
thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates,
where it pleaseth him best: thou shalt not oppress him.

17There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither
shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel. 18Thou
shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the wages of a dog, into
the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow: for even both these are an
abomination unto Jehovah thy God.

19Thou shalt not lend
upon interest to thy brother; interest of money, interest of
victuals, interest of anything that is lent upon interest: 20unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon interest; but unto thy
brother thou shalt not lend upon interest, that Jehovah thy God may
bless thee in all that thou puttest thy hand unto, in the land
whither thou goest in to possess it.

21When thou shalt
vow a vow unto Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not be slack to pay it:
for Jehovah thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be
sin in thee. 22But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it
shall be no sin in thee. 23That which is gone out of thy
lips thou shalt observe and do; according as thou hast vowed unto
Jehovah thy God, a freewill-offering, which thou hast promised with
thy mouth.

1When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, then it
shall be, if she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found
some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of
divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2And when she is departed out of his house, she may go
and be another man's wife. 3And if the latter husband
hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her
hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband die,
who took her to be his wife; 4her former husband, who
sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she
is defiled; for that is abomination before Jehovah: and thou shalt
not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an
inheritance.

5When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not
go out in the host, neither shall he be charged with any business:
he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he
hath taken.

6No man shall take the mill or the upper
millstone to pledge; for he taketh a man's life to pledge.

7If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of
Israel, and he deal with him as a slave, or sell him; then that
thief shall die: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of
thee.

8Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou
observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the
Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to
do. 9Remember what Jehovah thy God did unto Miriam, by
the way as ye came forth out of Egypt.

10When thou dost
lend thy neighbor any manner of loan, thou shalt not go into his
house to fetch his pledge. 11Thou shalt stand without,
and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring forth the pledge
without unto thee. 12And if he be a poor man, thou shalt
not sleep with his pledge; 13thou shalt surely restore
to him the pledge when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his
garment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee
before Jehovah thy God.

14Thou shalt not oppress a hired
servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of
thy sojourners that are in thy land within thy gates: 15in his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go
down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he
cry against thee unto Jehovah, and it be sin unto thee.

16The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither
shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall
be put to death for his own sin.

17Thou shalt not wrest
the justice due to the sojourner, or to the fatherless, nor take the
widow's raiment to pledge; 18but thou shalt remember
that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee
thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

19When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf
in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for
the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Jehovah
thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands. 20When thou beatest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the
boughs again: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and
for the widow. 21When thou gatherest the grapes of thy
vineyard, thou shalt not glean it after thee: it shall be for the
sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 22And
thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt:
therefore I command thee to do this thing.

25 Deuteronomy 25

1If there be a controversy between men, and they come
unto judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify
the righteous, and condemn the wicked; 2and it shall be,
if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause
him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his
wickedness, by number. 3Forty stripes he may give him,
he shall not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above
these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto
thee.

4Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out
the grain.

5If brethren dwell together, and one of them
die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married
without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her,
and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband's
brother unto her. 6And it shall be, that the first-born
that she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother that is
dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel. 7And
if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then his brother's
wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's
brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he
will not perform the duty of a husband's brother unto me. 8Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and
if he stand, and say, I like not to take her; 9then
shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the
elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face;
and she shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that
doth not build up his brother's house. 10And his name
shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe
loosed.

11When men strive together one with another, and
the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the
hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh
him by the secrets; 12then thou shalt cut off her hand,
thine eye shall have no pity.

13Thou shalt not have in
thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small. 14Thou
shalt not have in thy house diverse measures, a great and a small.
15A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect
and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be long in the
land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. 16For all that
do such things, even all that do unrighteously, are an abomination
unto Jehovah thy God.

17Remember what Amalek did unto
thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt; 18how he
met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were
feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared
not God. 19Therefore it shall be, when Jehovah thy God
hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land
which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it,
that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under
heaven; thou shalt not forget.
